So I'm reading over at NoGrip about a NR2003 GTP mod Hot Lapping thing they're doing...and I though "Hey maybe we could do something like that...of course it really caught my eye because they were using Riverside as their first track as a sort of trial effort test thing....

What they do is simple, agreed upon track, no monkey business (read CHEATING), use any model, your own paint or a default paint, and then you just crunch off some laps and when you get a good one you post an image of the car on the track with the fast lap time showing...make sense?

What i liked was that it really wasn't meant to be a contest as much as just a way to improve one's self...(sounds like something Tigg thunk up)

Now I'm not the best driver in the world (in sim racing that is, in real driving I actually am the best driver in the world, though my wife would dispute that fact) but I don't have the kind of ego that would keep me from posting a mediocre time...just sayin'

Anybody up for something like this?

Great guys, I'm gonna let this set and see how many more we can get...OR
we could move ahead with some decisions about which mod and just get this thing rolling...

Or Both!

Would we bounce around from game to game? I wouldn't mind doing this in rFactor or Automobilista, Heat, AC, Defroster...

Sure...I'm thinking we may need a new section called "Hot Lapping". Then we can have a thread for various sims and folks can just post whatever they want and others can pile on as they are motivated by the sim/mod/track combinations? How's that sound?

Folks can post videos if they wish too...

You know I'd be up for that!

GTP doesn't like me, no matter what trick is posted on the 'net, I can't get it to run on Windows 10.

I have just about all of them...LOL, this would actually get me to hook up my wheel and get me driving...in a less time limited way than online racing, and still get to feel like I'm in it with all y'all

There a re a few ways to make GTP happen, the normal mod way, the stand alone way, etc...but it does look like we're talking about a bunch of possibilities...

I just want this to be as inclusive as possible...I mean people could actually use different sims with the same car types and tracks in different sims...crazy thought huh?

I have it in it's own install, the sim fires up, gets all the way to drive, then locks up and dies.
